An observer down South says an alligator's threat is an animated sewer. Everything which lodges in hls mouth goes down. He is a lazy dog, and instead of hunting for something to eat, he lets his victuals hunt for him. That is, he lies with his great mouth open apparently dead, like the 'possum. Soon a bug crawls into it, then fly, then several gnats, and a col ony of mosquitoes. The alligator dosn't close his mouth yet. He is waiting for a whole drove of things. He does his eating by wholesale. A little later a lizard will cool himself under the shade of the upper jaw. Then few frogs will hop up to catch the mosquitoes. Then more mosqu:- toes and gnats will light on the frogs. Finally whole village of insects and reptiles settles down for an afternoon picnic. Then all at once there is an earthquake. The big jaw falls, the alligator blinks one eye, gulps down the entire menagerie, and opens his great front door again for more visitors.

Gold will only melt at a con- paratively high temperature, as we all know, but what is not generally known, the Jewellers Journal says, is that if two per cent of silica be added to the gold, it can be melt ed over the flame of a common candle. From the same source the reader may learn that pretty alloy, said to resemble gold ex- actly, can be made with 16 parts copper, 1 of zinc, and ' of plat mum. The copper and platinum are covered first with borax and then with powdered charcoal and melted, then the zinc added, and the alloy thus produced is exceed ingly malleable, and can be drawn into the finest wire, while it never tarnishes.

Stockmen in the vicinity of Flag staff and Williams have of late been troubled with raids from rustlers on their stock. who have taken from one to three at a time from various parties. Messrs. Bass and Rogers. of Williams, recently in stituted search for some of this stolen stock, and in an ou.- of the way and unfrequented place found twenty-one head belonging to diff ferent parties. They found no trace of the thieves, however. A posse of officers and citizens was being organized in Flagstaff, a few days ago, to institute ferther search, and if possible. round up the thieves. It is believed that a thoroughly organized band of rustlers and outlaws exist in the mountains of that vicinity.-Jour- nal Miner.

The Citizen says that more cat tie have died this year within the neighborhood of Pantano than for many years before. There is ab- solutely no grass and COWS have become too poor to nurse their calves, hence the deaths among the latter have been very great. Since the recent storms grass in the Cienega is putting out and such cattle as can hold out two weeks longer will be all right.

The following 'o'er true tale" IS going the rounds: An unusual
 operation was performed by a veterinary surgeon of Pontiac, at Hinman's Cross Brook Farm. A brood mare, which had been turned loose with some strange horses in a field, was kicked and so badly injured that she had to he killed. She. was bled to death, and as she lay bleeding the thought occurred that possibly the colt, which had been sired by De tractor, might be taken from the mare alive. The colt was sired eleven months and fifteen days previously, and in the natural or der of things would have been foaled in fifteen days. No time was to be lost, and two men set to work to perform the operation. It took about fifteen minutes, and the colt was carried away alive and kicking. The mare was dead before the operation was finished. but the colt showed no indication of loss of vitality, and next morn ing was on its feet, as strong, ap- parently, as a colt foaled in the ordinary course of nature.

An inclination of one inch in 15 miles is sufficient to give motion to water. An inclination of three inches per mile in straight, smooth channel will give velocity of three miles per hour, while three feet per mile would produce torrent.
